I'm sure you do.
But that's not an actual loss, anymore than your predictions for how many people will fly on your airline are actual revenue.
It's called "Detrimental Reliance" and it a commonly successful tort.
So after consulting dr google, I got this hit:

None of the examples here seem relevant or applicable.
I am waiting for an example where someone has made an assumption of a purchase with neither verbal agreement nor written contract, then claimed that purchase not proceeding as an actual loss of revenue.
What to do when airline warned me about numerous throw-away ticketing?
Best answer is:
Stop doing it.
No, best answer is:
Keep doing it until they take an action, then decide whether or not to continue based on that action. If that action is something like withholding points, then fair enough. If that action is cancelling a frequent flyer account including loss of previously accrued points and benefits, then I'd argue there's probably a case to be made against the airline. If that action is charging you after the fact for a different fare, then call up your credit card company and have it reversed.
